Introducing Southwest Microwave’s newest high-performance connector, the groundbreaking 0.8 mm (145 GHz) high-performance thread-in connector. This cutting-edge design ensures exceptional signal integrity while delivering the industry’s lowest VSWR, RF leakage, and insertion loss.

• Will mate with IEEE 287 & IEC 61169-64 standards
• DC to 145 GHz
• Field replaceable and reusable

1.35 mm DC to 90 GHz connectors from Southwest Microwave include a field-replaceable 4-hole Flange-mount Connector, standard Thread-in Connector, Cable Connector, clamp-on solderless End Launch Connector, Solderless Vertical Launch Connector, and between series adaptors.

• Combine up to 12 fail-safe building blocks, dual SPDT, SP4T, SP6T, or transfer switch in a compact 1U footprint 
• Front “pluggable” relays facilitate field maintenance 
• Embedded web interface provides interactive utility to monitor and control relays from anywhere in the world 
• Flexible API supports IVI and Linux development environments minimizing software investment 
• LXI Trigger Event implementation provides seamless test synchronization with external devices 
• Store up to 128 relay state configurations for quick recall, including an automatic power up state 
• Define exclude lists to avoid setting an undesirable configuration 
• Relay odometer tracks closures to facilitate preventative maintenance

For microstrip or grounded coplanar waveguide (GCPW) designs, Southwest Microwave solderless vertical launch connectors provide optimal signal integrity and are reusable. Suitable for various board materials and thicknesses, the vertical launch connectors reduce footprint requirements without sacrificing performance, resulting in design and installation convenience.
